I made some further tests and basically FIONREAD semantics differ on
pipe and socketpair. On pipe, it will return the sum of all non read
data. On socketpair, it will only return the size of non read data from
the first pending write call. Of course, it creates some delays in
PeekNamedPipe. recv behaves the same.
So, as a solution, we could replace the socketpair call in the server
with a pipe one (this would break on platforms where pipe create a
unidirectional pipe - or we could even detect it and fall back to
socketpair with a know degradation).
Any other idea ?
